16. “minority candidates have ‘a higher threshold in
in establishing themselves with voters.’” Barack H. Obama..manchester n.h.
That is a laughable claim but a shrewd use of the race card to position Obama for future manipulation of the electoral process.For him to claim that the barriers are higher, that the bar is higher for him to succeed, is nonsense. It is crass racialism. Obama is a product of the very “24-hour…small-minded politics” that he decries.

Don’t get me wrong. Americans are justifiably hungry to consider a qualified African-American candidate for president. Richard Parsons of Time-Warner comes to mind. Heard of him? Probably not. I thought so. Parson’s qualified, but Barack seems to have fooled Iowa and some in N.H. Don’t let him fool you. Unless, of course, you want to be fooled. Personally, I would rather believe in Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer than Barack Hussein Obama.
